[ The device flips on to show a nice view of the interior of the Opera House - right inside the entrance. And in the center of the room, there's a tall ladder raised with someone standing upon it, but all that's showing in view of the screen is a pair of black shoes and matching pants to about halfway up the legs.

One foot shifts, and a young man's ( Read more... )

[[Waaatching... Does he know the thing is on?]]

[[...OH SHI--!]]

...F-FAKIR?! Are you--I'll be right there!

[[AND SHE'S OFF TO "HELP"]]

[ Only now does Fakir notice the device is on across the room - since he recognizes her loud, squeaky voice coming from it.

The initial surprise rapidly gives way to panic, however. ]

No--NO, you idiot! Stay away from here! I'm affected by some kind of stupid curse, and you could get hurt---

[ He slams a palm to the floor in hopes of getting her attention, but that only causes the candle holder that was on the left side of where the mirror used to be to slip from the wall and clatter to the floor.

He blinks at it for a moment and then turns to the screen again. ]

See? It's dangerous! Just stay there, dammit!

[[She calls out over her shoulder to the device as she's all ready heading out of her room.]]

It's okay! I'll come get you! Don't worry!

[[And Ahiru disappears from the screen's view. Totally on her way down to the main entrance now.]]

[ Video ] sword_and_quill August 13 2010, 21:57:43 UTC

I said no, you stupid---!

[ He grinds his teeth in frustration.

Goddammit, she never listens! Even when it's really important!

So he's just going to scoot his way out of the open and somewhere else in efforts to avoid her. ]

[ Action? ] dance_of_hope August 13 2010, 22:33:18 UTC

[[Ahiru dashes down toward the entrance hall where Fakir had obviously fallen. He looked hurt! He didn't get up or anything! That was a really nasty fall and it looked painful and--!

That's when she ends up in the entrance hall, right before tripping on her own feel and landing face-first into the ground.]]

QUA-OOF!

[[...She's not even cursed today. This is just the normal klutz move.]]

[ Action ] sword_and_quill August 13 2010, 22:39:57 UTC

[ Fakir doesn't know whether the fall was Ahiru's normal behavior or curse effects, but he's not keen on finding out, either.

He's slowly backing into that open doorway behind him.

That is, until the floor gives way under his right foot and lodges it snugly into a small caved area that certainly wasn't there before.

Really, he wonders inwardly, what the hell was this? Was the goddamn building going to fall apart around him before the day was over? ]

[ Action ] dance_of_hope August 13 2010, 22:46:03 UTC

[[Ahiru groans as she lifts herself from the ground, and she instantly turns toward the tiny sound of something breaking off to the side.

...Those are definitely Fakir's legs!]]

I-I'm here now!

[[She gets up on wobbly legs and rushes over, kneeling beside him.]]

What happened?! Can you get up?

[[The duck-girl reaches out for his arm.]]

[ Action ] sword_and_quill August 14 2010, 00:07:35 UTC

[ Fakir glares at her, trying to pull his foot free. ]

Get away from me, moron! If things are falling and breaking around me, I don't want you to get involved! Can't you understand that?

[ He was just too high strung at this point to care about being subtle. She had to know the facts, dammit. ]

[ Action ] dance_of_hope August 14 2010, 00:12:37 UTC

[[Blah, blah, blah. Ahiru swats at his nose and doesn't hesitate to just grab him around his torso in a poor attempt to drag him.]]

Things fall and break around me all the time! Big deal! We have to fix you!

[ Action ] sword_and_quill August 14 2010, 00:33:20 UTC

[ He recoils slightly, raising a hand to his nose. ...Did she really just slap him there? What on earth?

He didn't get time to deliberate that, however, as her hands then dive in to tuck around his was in attempt to pull him up.

His face flushes as he sputters. ]

Hey! Stop--! I'm serious, you--Ow! Don't--! This isn't the same as your clusmy--!

[ Action ] dance_of_hope August 14 2010, 00:41:02 UTC

C-Come on! I can't help you very well if you don't help yours--QUA--!

[[Thank goodness that her quack cut off right as she falls while trying to yank him backwards.]]

[ Action ] sword_and_quill August 14 2010, 00:45:41 UTC

[ He just... shakes his head. He doesn't even have to turn around to see what happened. ]

Just go. I'll move myself when there are no other people around. I'm not going to risk putting anyone in danger.

[ Least of all her, but he's not about to say that. ]

[ Action ] dance_of_hope August 14 2010, 00:47:55 UTC

...Why do you have to wait until people aren't around? How hurt are you?

[[She stands up again and bends to poke at his arm.]]

I'm not just gonna leave you sitting here! Do you need anything? I can bring something to you! Like a drink or...I don't know!

[ Action ] sword_and_quill August 14 2010, 00:55:19 UTC

[ He sighs, settling a hand against his forehead. ]

I just told you, idiot. Do you even listen? I'm cursed. Things are breaking around me and generally going wrong and I'm not getting anyone else involved!

[ His arm jerks away from her - and just as it does, a large tear rips through half of his shirt from the underarm to halfway through to the center in the process.

...Not that he really cares. ]

And I don't need anything. All I want is for you to stay away from me until midnight.
